Meet Ella 🐾 Ella is a truly gorgeous German Shepherd, about 6 years old and around 60 pounds, with a personality that lights up every room she walks into. She waited far too long at the shelter, and everyone agrees the only reason is because she’s missing some fur on her tummy — something we barely notice because her sweet, sparkly spirit completely steals the show. Ella is friendly, smart, and highly trainable, with the energy of a much younger dog (straight from the vet’s mouth — more like a 2-year-old!). She loves long walks, adventures, and hopping in and out of the car all by herself like a total pro. She flashes the best smile, and everyone who meets her immediately asks about her and comments on how beautiful and incredibly sweet she is. She’s affectionate to her core, a world-class cuddler, and always seeking love. Ella is house trained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and does wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs. Her missing tummy fur may never grow back, but it’s not contagious and doesn’t bother her one bit. After spending months at the shelter with no interest, The Misfit Ranch stepped in and pulled this amazing girl to safety. Now she’s living the spoiled foster life and soaking up all the love — but everyone is still stunned she hasn’t been adopted yet. Honestly? She’s probably just been waiting for you. 💛 Located in San Diego
